Damn Poem by kunjubi varghese

The divine words of God, was heard

Like the chirping of a bird,

“Here is Man”; “He is my beloved son”….

Man sitting in the Garden of Eden

In paradise, said: ” Amen! So be it;

Peace unto you, my God.”

But when he plucked the fruit of

That tree of dreams, the voice

Changed and became harsh,

That of God with discord;

The horrid voice uttered,

“Here is man; I have rehabilitated him,

Into the hell; let him be there.”


In there, the man said:

“Amen; Hallowed be Thy name, Thank you, Creator,

So be it; thank you again.”

And, he started carrying the burden

Of his Eternal despair, and despondency

From that moment.

God shuddered and His eyes

Were inundated by tears;

Man is still trying to wipe away

The tears from His cheeks.

To see a happy smile, on His visage…
